PAGE 14 LETABA HERALD - Friday 10 April 2009 BRIEWE GLM under the spotlight DA councillour, René Pohl of Modjadjiskloof writes; A special council meeting took place on March 31. According to the agenda the meeting would commence at 15:00 at the Modjadjiskloof council chambers. A notice requested all councillours to be there at 14:00 for a SARS presentation. Upon my arrival at 13:45, no one was to be found. My DA collegue phoned, informing me that the meeting was to take place at Etikeleng Village. Two tents were erected. More than 8 busses of ANC members were transported to the so-called "community awareness and participation of how a council meeting is conducted. The meeting only started afther 16:00. There is a clear distinction between the state and the municipality. Municipal funds may not be used for ANC campaigning. As expected, many promises were made and food distributred. The media as well as security police were present. According to the draft budget the total income ofthen operating revenue of R 145,282,106 million, only R 7, 126, 526 will go towards maintenance and repairs. The Modjadjiskloof pump station as well as the switchgear is in a very bad state and only one pump and motor is functioning! There are 26 wards in Letaba. Only R 5, 446, 249 million is allowed for water, and R 6, 244, 560 for electricity. SVEN Hedin spreek graag sy dank uit, en skryf die volgende: Hiermee wil ek graag almal bedank wat in gebed getree het, asook mense wat hulle harte en beursies oopgemaak het tydens my besering verlede Saterdag by die rugby. Vir my verloofde, Elsie, wat my so wonderlik bygestaan het, baie dankie, ek waardeer dit baie. Ek bedank ook die personeel en dokters by The largest amounts allows for salaries at R 37, 872, 010 and general expences at R 46, 607,361. Due to bad management the R300 000 allocated for the hydroponics project near Modjadji headkraal did not realise, and the R300 000 was taken back by province. Again correct procedures weren’t followed and the amount of R15 million was reduced to only R1,2 million for rates and taxes. Allegations regarding the following issues: The tanker truck, the death of two workers who worked on the sewerege protject, (district municipality). The coffin found on the Modjadjiskloof dumpsite, (which is illegal and not fenced). Using of funds (municipal) for ANC canvassiting at special d-meeting etc., The correct procedures must be followed. Questions will be handed into the municipal manager requesting to be answered in writing at the next council meeting. According to the constitution, chapter 7, section 7 , which states that a municipality must conduct its business in an open manner, and 152(d) to promote a safe and healty enviroment, (dumpsite). I there for urge every resident to become involved in council activities to hold them accountable. There are two forums, namely the ratepayers assocciation as well as the police forum where complaints, needs and concerns can be tabled and shared. For any information I, René Pohl can be contacted at: 082 925 9159 Sven sê dankie aan almal die Tzaneen Medi-Clinic vir die uitstekende behandeling.

LETABA HERALD - Vrydag 10 April 2009 PAGE 15 Community Awards Programme officially open for entries The 2009 Jet Community Awards Programme is officially open for entries from South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Lesotho and Swaziland with more than R1 million in prize money up for grabs by local community heroes. For the past six years, the Jet Community Awards has been celebrating the extraordinary achievements of ordinary citizens within impoverished communities from across Southern Africa. Representing retail brand Jet’s flagship community upliftment programme, the annual Jet Community Awards aim to reward those individuals or organisations who give selflessly of their time, energy and talents to build and empower vulnerable individuals in their local communities. Since the Awards launched in 2003, Jet has received thousands of entries, and awarded almost R4 million in prize money to 32 overall winners. Last year the R1 million prize money was shared amongst 36 regional winners and seven national winners. The 2008 winners include a crèche from Klerksdorp; a community care organisation from Namibia; a children’s disability centre from Soweto; a community trading store and tuck shop in Francistown, Botswana; a tourism and cultural centre in Bergville, Kwazulu Natal; a community IT and office support centre in Ha-Matlatla, Limpopo Province; and a grass roots environmental waste management programme in Bonteheuwel, Western Cape. Says Jet Club Manager, Tessa Lloyd, “Community is all about family, and as a family brand Jet remains committed to supporting community carers in their selfless service to impoverished communities and families across Southern Africa. In order to ensure that our winners have a sustained positive impact within their communities our Awards’ Veri- fication Team visits and assesses all short listed projects. Jet’s investment in the programme has continually increased to the point where over R1 million in prize money is channelled to benefit the various community initiatives that most need it.” The 2009 Awards will be targeting community projects and organisations in the categories of “Education”, honouring organisations and individuals focusing on school-level programmes of excellence in literacy, maths, science and technology; “We Care”, recognising inspirational community initiatives in healthcare; Early Childhood Development (ECD), and Orphaned and Vulnerable Children (OVC) as well as initiatives with people with disabilities, specifically in terms of care, support and empowerment; “Vukuzenzele” which recognise entrepreneurs among black women, youths and in small enterprises; and “Environmental Waste Management”, recognising those committed to reducing or eliminating waste production. “The quality of the entries we have received over the last several years is indicative of the tremendous goodwill that exists at a community level in terms of contributing towards real social transformation in South Africa and the broader southern Africa community. While our winners all come from different regions and backgrounds, they share a common vision – the transformation of their community through working for others. With little or no external support, and seldom any specialist education, these extraordinary individuals overcome significant challenges to make a difference in the lives of their fellow citizens,” concludes Jet Club Manager, Tessa Lloyd.
